My favorite jar tends to plate after a while, and I fill it with hot water and 
an Efferdent tablet, which is well-known by antique bottle collectors as a good 
way to clean. Then I further scrub it with CLR which attacks mineral/metal 
deposits, and then wash thoroughly. This seems to do the trick.
Be well,
Léna
